Independence Day

I just Tweeted ... Happy 'We Made The Colonies Independent and Let Them Spell Colour, Axe and Aluminium with Missing Letters Day.'

However, I am just being flippant.



I can see that the span of time between Independence Day of 1776 to VE day and the end of WWII, forms a larger social arc of a relationship that, though distorted by swells of changing political tides, shows a deeper link of a common people joined in a greater moral kinship. This moral kinship is not a religious link, if anything it is the spectre of religion that will cause the most illusory discordance between any nation, it is rather an ideal of freedom that should be continually maintained by the governed, now more than ever, when democracy seems so fragile.

Most appropriate track...

music
lyric

A nicer alternative...
